Sport Chek Opening Olympic Manifesto 1st Verse

What will you do
When your lungs burn
And your body shakes
When the disaster in your muscles
Go from tremors to earthquakes
How will you hold on
When every rung you reach for shatters
In your grasp
And there are more ways to fall
Than there are to climb

How will you keep going
When the hands on the clock
Refuse to applaud you
Until your best time is a broken record
That skips over your next heartbeat
How will you move forward
When your feet feel like anchors
You must drag across the finish line
How will you sharpen
Into an exclamation point
The curled up question mark
Of your spine
